Canadian Road Racing - Marybeth Harrison Takes Points Lead

28 April 1998

DOUBLE WINS FOR FOUNTAIN TIRE RACING AS MARYBETH HARRISON JUMPS INTO
THE POINT STANDING LEAD


Vancouver, Canada--Marybeth Harrison took home two first place
trophies at this weekend's road racing event at Mission Raceway Park.

One first place finish was earned in the ICSCC Formula Ford division
where Marybeth also finished 2nd overall thanks to an exciting
last-lap pass!

"I didn't even know I was making a pass for position," explains
Marybeth. "My crew chief [Marty Knoll of Kelowna, BC] had shown me the
pit board but I misunderstood the communication. Luckily, I was still
going 100% all out and made a pass for 2nd going into the hair pin."

The second first place finish was earned in the CFDA (Canadian Formula
Drivers Association) where Marybeth qualified first and managed to
hold off the field at the start to lead the 28 minute race to the
checkered.

"We were told that the race had been shortened to 20 minutes so I was
surprised that we just seemed to keep going and going!" states
Marybeth.  "It wasn't until we went through the scales that I found
out we had gone an extra 8 minutes. There was some concern that we had
burned enough fuel to drop us down below the legal limit, but
thankfully we were ok!"

The win puts Marybeth in solid lead for the CFDA championship ahead of
April 12th winner, Michael Lensen of Surrey.

Marybeth drives the Fountain Tire Racing 1993 Euroswift - a Formula
1600 that produces 110 horsepower and reaches top speeds of
approximately 130 mph.

Marybeth's next race will be held May 23rd and 24th at Mission Raceway
Park. For more information, contact Mach One Racing at 604 939 7333 or
